Engage™ Linked Service - Independent Fitness Tracker Services

Last Updated: May 05, 2015 10:01AM PDT

In this article, “Independent Fitness Tracker Services” refers to compatible fitness tracking services operated by third parties who are independent from Recon.

Engage™ service users can link their Engage™ account to an account at one or more an Independent Fitness Tracker Services. If a user’s Engage™ account is linked to their account at an Independent Fitness Tracker Service, then information about the user’s Engage™ sports activities (each of which is called a “trip”) will be automatically shared with the Independent Fitness Tracker Service. This article explains how information is shared between the Engage™ service and Independent Fitness Tracker Services.

Linking

If a user links their Engage™ account to their account at an Independent Fitness Tracker Service, then the user’s Engage™ account will be given access to send trip data to the Independent Fitness Tracker Service, as described below.

Linking an Independent Fitness Tracker Service account to an Engage™ account does not give the Engage™ account access to Independent Fitness Tracker Services account login information or other data from the Independent Fitness Tracker Service.

Data Sharing

If a user links their Engage™ account to their account at an Independent Fitness Tracker Service, then the Engage™ service will automatically send to the Independent Fitness Tracker Service information about a trip (including geolocation and activity statistics) that is posted to the user’s Engage™ account (i.e. after the trip data is uploaded to the Engage™ service, processed and viewable on the Engage™ service).

The only data transmitted from the Engage™ service to an Independent Fitness Tracker Service is information about Engage™ trips, as described above. The automatic trip data sharing functionality does not transfer any other data from the Engage™ service to the Independent Fitness Tracker Service or any data from the Independent Fitness Tracker Service to the Engage™ service other than a confirmation that the trip data was successfully transferred to the Independent Fitness Tracker Service.

All trip data shared with an Independent Fitness Tracker Service is governed by the Independent Fitness Tracker Service’s terms of service and privacy policy. Engage™ users must understand and comply with those terms of service and privacy policy.

Security

Data is transmitted between the Engage™ service and Independent Fitness Tracker Services using the applicable procedures designated by the Independent Fitness Tracker Services, which include the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) protocol.

De-Linking

A user can cancel the link between the user’s Engage™ account and Independent Fitness Tracker Service account at any time using the functionality in the user’s Engage™ account settings. If the user’s Engage™ account and Independent Fitness Tracker Service account are de-linked, then the Engage™ service user will no longer automatically transfer trip data to the Independent Fitness Tracker Service.

De-linking will not affect trip data that was previously transferred to an Independent Fitness Tracker Service. That data will have to be removed from within the Independent Fitness Tracker Service.

A user can, at any time, re-establish the link between the user’s Engage™ account and the user’s Fitness Tracker Service account.
